The origin and the genetic regulation of the self-compatibility mechanism in clementine (Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan.)

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism common in flowering plants to prevent self-fertilization. Among citrus species, several pummelo, mandarin, and mandarin-like accessions show SI behavior. In these species, SI is coupled with a variable degree of parthenocarpy ensuring the production o...
